EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 16th century, depicting Herodias, a prominent figure from the New Testament. The image portrays her in all her regal glory, wearing an exquisite headdress and a wimple that accentuates her status as a medieval noblewoman. Herodias' story is one of intrigue and power. Fueled by resentment towards John the Baptist for denouncing her marriage to her uncle, she cunningly manipulates her daughter Salome into demanding his execution. This historical moment is beautifully captured in this wood engraving from "The Arts of the Middle Ages and at the Period of the Renaissance" by Paul Lacroix. The print not only showcases Herodias but also provides insight into religious practices during that era. It offers a glimpse into the lives of both men and women who were influenced by their faith. Created by Israel van Mecken under Paul Lacroix's guidance, this artwork carries immense historical significance. Its monochrome aesthetic adds depth to its portrayal of life in sixteenth-century Europe. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported back in time - witnessing Herodias' determination alongside societal norms prevalent during that period. The attention to detail and artistic skill displayed here make it evident why this print has stood the test of time.
